Near the home of LnP! not that far away for a drive over, but just come back from Hamilton today so wasnt that keen to turn round and drive back

or in the case of clint doesnt check anything ever and thrashes the tits off it AND ti somehow miraculously still goes. lol

Too bad it wasnt tonight as already in hams tonight but home tomorrow....

Paeroa!! LnP

need max low for maximum bitches...

And im guessing they need to be a 1D certifier going off the sheet on LVVTA website?

who is decent to cert airbags or hydros? Paul Sattler told my mate wont cert hydros or bags anymore as its too much hassle for the $$$ he gets. Barry Aikehurst who i was going to get to do my conversion cant do bags or hydros.. Is there anyone in Hamilton/Auckland at a push that is decent enough to not be difficult to deal with?

Current line of thinking is something along this. Silver, with not sure either black, white, or tan top...

I do, it was on loan/stolen from a mate ill check if he still wants it and if not what he wants.. Im kind of put off white cause of the poo spec white it was when i bought it , but after looking on the net the last few days there are some real nice white ones out there.

Right so have been busy as and slack at updating the build thread. Have built up the chassis has been sandblasted, etch primed, and then finally i painted it. Have fitted new 2 inch lowering springs, new KYB shocks, suspension bushes, balljoints, wheel bearings, rack ends and made up new hard brake & fuel lines. The cars been at the panelbeaters getting the rust dealt too and prepped for paint.Theyve been plowing into that. As mentioned above have bought a LS1 so have bought a heap of bits from the states for that including engine mounts, fuel injected tank & intank pump, trans mount to suit 700R4, inline fuel filter/reg (that can be mounted by tank with return out of reg to avoid having to run 2 hard lines forward). Am going to set up the engine at home once my sheds up and get it all running and painted up so when cars home from panel/paint it can be dropped in good to go. Have bought a disk brake conversion set up from USA. The generic conversion kits mess the offset of the hub up by 1inch either side which pushes the wheels out too far from what im told . Found a place that makes a bracket that attaches to the factory drum spindle, mounts a 1990 Chev Celebrity caliper, 1978 Monte Carlo rotors & 1970 camaro brake lines, all this bolts to the stock spindle and doesnt mess the offset up and works apparently so we will see when it turns up. Now got to decide on a colour for paint, roof and interior. Decisions decisions! Discussion therad > viewtopic.php?f=18&t=36383

fuck who let this guy in! should of kept him at the gate... mint looking ride man youl be a giant on that bad boy ha.

Can definatly recommend Dtech, have had engines built, cars built and cars tuned there multiple times before and they have been great. Havent looked into wiring tooo much but a mate who does that sort of stuff for a job reckons they are not to bad, will be starting on mine in the next month (going to get fitted and running in my spare chassis ) so will let you know how i get on .

hurrrahhhh ls1 is good, i now have one also. DTech motorsport in Tauranga can retune these no trouble and get some good gains out of a reflash. I just bought the neccessary addaptor pieces to run a Chev box on the LS1 can send you the links if you want, cost like 80bux us all up or something, was fukall any ways. Apparently easy to get running as the loom and ecu is bascially stand alone for hte engine so can run factory ecu and loom easy enough. Look forward to seeing progress/issues so I can learn or vice versa lol

awww man, went to Hamilton last night! Must reassemble 64 chassis tonight for panelbeater so im a no go.

what date we talking? cbf looking back on last page

Just putting 2 and 2 together. Never knew it had a cage in it till the latest pics! Picking its V8 with Powerglide and stripped out to be a track car??

has it got lsd oil in the rear diff? Mine never single spun in the r?

kantoproject has had that thing for sale for years on trademe!

thanks cletus, yup looking for some in a brake upgrade kit for the 64 thought id check before i buy. Keltik, good ill buy it..

lol......you be getting trolled boy.....sorry im no help but that must be a mighty pain in the arse. PS.....Wheres my water pump !

3 of them haha.. March next year.. Lets just say im going to be busy!

Drop spindles, is there anything in particular these have to meet?

Nice build thread!, the acclerator setup sounds like the impala factory accelerator setup lol

yeah figured thatd be the case, will go see him again in the next week or so and ask him. Both are a bit pointless/painful to fit i woudl think.

Question, As im doing a engine conversion adn have a 2 piece shaft i need 2 driveshaft hoops. As the driveshaft is basically enclosed for the majority of its length, would i still need a pair of hoops? See pic and imagine drive shaft installed http://image.superchevy.com/f/10374397+w750+st0/sucp_0810_09_z+custom_stainless_steel_lines+61_impala_x_frame.jpg
